Manila Trip

These are some pictures Anthony took on his trip to Manila.

My trip got off to a rough start. Halfway to Japan from Los Angeles there was a medical emergency which required the plane to turn around. We landed in Seattle and got the passenger off the plane. In process of refueling and restocking the plane, they missed the NRT airport curfew and everybody had to stay the night in Seattle. Good thing I left two days early!!

In-flight meal


Flying over the long tail of Alaska


Seattle Hotel


Tokyo sunset with Mount Fuji in the distance



He got to stay at the swanky Shangri-La hotel. It is a very nice hotel.


He had a great view from his hotel room of Manila.




That mall was HUGE!!!


Lots of scooters in Manila


Bootleg DVDs anybody?


His typical 'Brinner' (since his dinner was technically morning for them)consisted of waffles, french toast, fruit, and sushi. Oh, and a chocolate doughnut. He sure eats healthy when on the road.


The call center had a sign welcoming him and his boss.






Some of the products were a little strange over there...








The ceiling in Manila airport






Irene pretty much passed out the second she got on the plane


Irene is a VERY frequent flier, so they hung out in the crown room in Tokyo for awhile.




It was a really fun trip. 2 hours to LA, 4.5 hours out of LA and about 3 hours back to Seattle, about 14 hours from Seattle to Tokyo and about 4 hours to Manila pretty much was the worst 27 hours in a plane of my life, but that's life in the fast lane. I'm not looking forward to my next flight over there, but I will look forward to the time I get to spend in Manila. I'll be happy to just jet set around the US for the time being though... Too much time in the plane makes Anthony a grumpy boy.
